Canada: Best Place To Retire:

Regarding OldPro's comment, which mentions that Canada has a "lower cost of living than the US," I must respectfully ask, "Huh?" Granted, the cost of living varies from state-to-state, and from province-to-province, but aside from the cost of housing in places like NYC and Boston (which actually isn't so very much higher than Vancouver or even Toronto), the overall cost of living in Canada is *markedly* higher. We're taxed up to our necks, and that's true whether you're talking about income tax, property tax, or tax on a bag of groceries. I laughed, following the recent election, as Americans were vowing to pull-up their tent pegs and move north; I told my friends, "they'll stay for 5 minutes once they arrive and discover the cost of living!" And yes, we have "free" health care, and if you're not too sick and can wait a year or two to see a specialist, it's not bad. i guess my point is this - there's plenty of good reasons to relocate to Canada from the US - but the cost of living sure isn't one of them! Maybe I've misunderstood what you were saying? I mention it only because it's a very important point!
